They Say It's Art, We Say It's.......

When we were in Paris, dear friend Louie brought mowdil and I to Jardin de Tuileries.

Jardin de Tuileries used to be a royal palace in Paris, France. Look how beautifully manicured the garden is! Awesome! This was taken beginning of Spring 2009.

Sunbathing with Jackets on!

Posing at one of the many scupltures in the garden:

and another sculpture: I know what you're thinking so keep it to yourself! hehehe...

The Garden Designer of Tuileries: Andre Le Notre

Needed to use the restrooms along the way. I remember the three of us were being noisy, talking while walking toward the restroom and got reprimanded by the person manning it.

We made a quick stop at Mary Magdalene's Church:

Modern Day Mary Magdalene (Male Version): Lighting a candle and praying for world peace.

Inside the Church:

Baptism of Christ:

We all said our prayers, then it was off to Musee du Louvre! Along the way, we passed by mom's hotel: Haha! Wishful thinking! *wink*

and this Chopard photo shoot did make us stop! S-T-O-P and observe:

Louvre is considered to be the biggest museum in the world. And here you have the famous glass pyramid.

Inside the Museum:

First Stop: Sculptures

Unlike taking pictures where every milisecond's pose can be captured; I wonder how long this poor guy had to pose to be sculpted. Hahahaha! Peace.

A man feeding his new born child:

A guard protecting the love of his love: How Sweet!!!

A lonely goatherder lost his sheep and his clothes.

This guy probably won the marathon and slipped:


A man trying to kill a serpent:


more male sculptures:


another:


and another:


It's amazing how real this sculptures look - muscles, veins and all.

Next Stop: Egyptian Antiquities

These human-headed winged bull called shedu guards the entrance. Shedu are believed to be protectors of homes and palaces.


This was a tomb, i think (i hope im not mistaken)


Ladies and gentlemen, please take note of the purse:


This is a real mummy:


and of course, the Sphinx: Temple guardians


Your trip to the Louvre will never be complete without seeing these beauties:

Venus De Milo: believed to be the sculpture of Greek Godess of love & beauty: Aphrodite


Mona Lisa: The most famous painting of Leonardo Da Vinci


That concludes our Louvre visit. On our next trip hopefully we can visit other areas: The Sattelite Museum, Decorative Arts, etc...
